Linux supports my WiFi, made in China, edge technology as WiFi6 is
evolving, same maker with WiFi7 on Windows.  It's a new era.

 
This openSUSE install went well, and other than screen orientation and
virtual keyboard, everything worked OOTB.
My first Linux use was SUSE 10.1, bought in a box from a store.
It was aggravating to get it running, I mostly remember having to get a
serial port modem, would not use my internal modem (I think US Robotics).
 
Tried Ubuntu, Fedora in between, been 5 years since I've tried again.

A lot of people, myself included, feel that their choice of operating
system will make a social, political or economic difference in the
world. I agree with you now: it's a computer. The operating system you
use should be the one which properly supports the hardware you
purchased. For a lot of hardware, that will be Windows or MacOS.
Sometimes, Linux does a better job on that hardware, but that is rare.

That is how I take it, It's a computer.
But I mostly typed that cause Joel wrote It's a new era ;)

I do like Linux, but I've yet to put it on something good, like the
Alienware I have.
When that gets over-the-hill and I replace it with a new one (~2-3yrs),
I'll put Linux on it and maybe it will run great.
I'm hesitant now because of fan control, Alienwares can run hot, and
I've read stories about fans pulsing on/off then not working under
Linux.
Right now I have the ability to set them to run at %'s of 100 and per
program/game settings And I can pick intel graphics or nvidia graphics
with the click of a button.
